Siužetinės Linijos Tekstas
- In this scene, Hamlet speaking aloud about whether To be, or not to be meaning to live or to die. Hamlet thinks he is alone but the audience understands that King Claudius and Polonius are hearing.
- To be, or not to be, that is the question...
- Hamlet continues his thoughts of suicide by emphasizing the obvious intentions to die when he says the quote above. Both the King and Claudius are still listening without Hamlet's knowledge.
- To die, to sleep, no more; and by a sleep, to say end the heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is their to?
- Hamlet, slowly consumed by sorrow and slight madness realizes that the catch of living is to forever dream in eternal sleep once at life's end. His words, There's the respect that makes calamity of so long life . are archaic for his realization of why life is lengthy and the way and full of unfortunate events.
- There's the rub, For that sleep of death, what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil... There's the respect that makes calamity of so long life
